THANKS!

Fantastic job with this! My one note is that the intro date is oddly late. In the U.S. these were used from right around 1900, and they were widespread by 1910. However, for some reason, it is not available until 1920.

What is the start year of this loco? Started in 1900 and its not there, would be good to know some more info on it

Finally some smaller North American locomotives! The monsters are great and all, but they don't pay in branch service!

Great overall, the bounding box on the coupler's both front and rear could be a little bit closer to the other train cars.

Thanks again SteveM4 for another good model. Can't wait to see more American stuff.

Yes. In fact, many locomotives, not just in America, were built this way. For instance, if you look at some Russian locomotives, they have that. It's most common on freight engines with many driving wheels where the designers compromise speed for pulling power. They make the wheels smaller but more numerous to increase surface area in contact with the track and therefore give more traction. It's likely that the boiler was also big enough to warrant putting it at a higher position so the firebox wouldn't hit the ground.
Just a few reasons to explain this.

I'm not sure I understand the reason for the massive gap between the boiler and the wheels. Were they really built that way?
